Convert IGES file

IGES to 3MF ......

Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to IGES and 3MF interoperability and exchange that could help you with the IGES to 3MF conversion.


IGS IGES File

IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is the initial file format for the data exchange between different systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the geometry data are stored in a text file format, you will get bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using Autoconverter software. The IGES file format supports color per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the IGES file.


3MF 3MF File

3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open source XML file format developed by the 3MF Consortium to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the 3D printing industry. The 3MF file format becomes a modern replacement for the original STL 3D printing file format. Autoconverter or Automesher Application our 3MF file converters can read and write to and from 3MF file format thanks to the open source lib3mf library provided by the 3MF Consortium. However currently we do not support groups hierarchy for 3MF files.
